Thar is not the only player who will change even if the new year 2023 comes, the New Zealand player who opened Pakistan

Ramis Raja was sacked overnight from the team’s board, which faced severe criticism, and former chairman Najam Sethi took over as chairman again. Also, the former head of selectors Sahit Afridi has chosen the team for this New Zealand series as the new selector. In the first match of his selection, Sarfraz Ahmed gave a brilliant comeback, but Pakistan, who were beaten by New Zealand due to the poor performance of other players, fought back to draw on the last day due to insufficient light.

Tar Road:
Meanwhile, the 2nd match of the series began on January 2 at the Karachi Cricket Ground. Earlier, in last year’s Test series against Australia and England, the pitch was like a tar road which gave Pakistan a setback. Especially playing with action approach, England crushed Pakistan bowlers and accumulated big runs like 500, 600 and won easily. So the tough ICC handed out 2 consecutive black points in the same year for the Rawalpindi pitch being below average.

Due to this, the Pakistan Board, which faced ridicule at the global level, was forced to produce quality pitches in the New Year 2023. New Zealand, who won the toss in the match that started in that situation, announced that they would bat first after looking at the pitch that was laid like a tar road. In the end, their prediction was correct. Because fast bowlers take wickets by swinging the new ball even on flat pitches.

But in this match Tom Latham – Davon Conway, who used the pitch as a tar road and put the anchor in the beginning and batted well, put up a 134 run opening partnership and gave a good start again. Although Tom Latham was dismissed for 71 runs with 9 fours, Davon Conway, who joined hands with Kane Williamson, worked brilliantly again and made a 100-run partnership for the 2nd wicket, scored a century and scored 122 runs with 16 fours and 1 six.

What an absolute road. Batters dream! #PAKvNZ

Another completely untroubled century partnership on the Karachi road.
They should introduce some tolls and tax the run.

Pakistan took advantage of it in the evening and dismissed the main players like Kane Williamson 36, Henry Nicholls 26, Darl Mitchell 3, Michael Bracewell 0 at regular intervals. However, Tom Blundell with 30* and Ish Sodhi with 11* are in the field for New Zealand who have reached a strong position with 309/6 at the end of the first day. On the whole, New Zealand, who played at a patient pace and scored 300 runs on the first day, looked at the Karachi ground, which looked like a tar road, and the country’s player, Mitchell McLigan, openly expressed on Twitter that it was an absolute road, a batsmen’s paradise.

Even more than that, Kathikuti Iceland Board has expressed the following on its Twitter. “Another trouble-free 100-run partnership at Karachi Road. They (Pakistan) should introduce some tolls and tax these runs,” it said. Earlier when they lost to England, Iceland said that if they want to beat us and become big. Like them, many fans are making fun of Pakistan on social media.
